spectrochempy.empty_like

empty_like(dataset, dtype=None, **kwargs)

Return a new uninitialized NDDataset .

The returned NDDataset have the same shape and type as a given array. Units, coordset, … can be added in kwargs.

Parameters:

• dataset (NDDataset or array-like) – Object from which to copy the array structure.

• dtype (data-type, optional) – Overrides the data type of the result.

• **kwargs – Optional keyword parameters (see Other Parameters).

Returns:

emptylike – Array of fill_value with the same shape and type as dataset .

Other Parameters:

• units (str or ur instance) – Units of the returned object. If not provided, try to copy from the input object.

• coordset (list or Coordset object) – Coordinates for the returned object. If not provided, try to copy from the input object.

Notes

This function does not initialize the returned array; to do that use for instance zeros_like , ones_like or full_like instead. It may be marginally faster than the functions that do set the array values.
